Chapter 5 Hole Filling VS Endurance

The spring is hundreds of feet, the bubbling spring water emerges from the ground, surging up the rolling waves, Yang Kai opened a pair of iron passes, bent down to hold a sip of spring water and drank it, the clear and sweet feeling filled the chest, and secretly said: "The land of the immortal family is really extraordinary, just this spring water is better than the ordinary water." ”

With a touch of his lips, Yang Kai stared around, the trees were verdant, the grass was vigorous, and sometimes there were the sounds of birds singing and beasts roaring, constituting a harmonious and beautiful landscape painting.

Yang Kai walked to the messy stones not far away, picked up more than a dozen sea bowl-like stones and put them in the iron bucket, and then brought some loess from the spring to fill the iron bucket, and finally came to the place where he specially drew water, picked up the fist-sized stopper, and the cool spring water gushed out from the pipe.

In a few breaths, the two iron buckets were filled with spring water, Yang Lin grabbed the flat shoulder, took a deep breath, put the heavy iron tong on his shoulder, and walked towards the top of the mountain with difficulty.

Yang Kai's pair of iron buckets are composed of stones, loess and spring water, full of a load, almost twice the load of ordinary children, slightly difficult, but Yang Kai is firm, every step is full of confidence, three miles of mountain road stone ladder, relatively long.

At the beginning of a mile, Yang Kai was calm and composed, sweating slightly, after a mile, his body felt slightly uncomfortable, his legs began to tremble slightly, Yang Kai gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Yang Kai, you must fight for your strength, the road of the Immortal Gate is in front of you, you must hold on!"

Taking a sharp breath, his arms gripped the slinging sling on the iron pass, Yang Kai took another step, lifted his steps and walked up slowly, and kept counting in his mouth: "One thousand, one thousand and one..."

Beads of sweat slid down the placket of his clothes, submerged in the dust, moving forward step by step, quite consuming physical strength, Yang Kai's face was flushed, his eyelids were soaked with crystal beads of sweat, his long eyelashes were beating, and a big drop of sweat slipped down, and his mind gradually went blank, but there was a belief that supported Yang Kai.

Yang Kai has the blood of the ancestors flowing in his body, and there is the arrogance of the ancestors in his bones, and he was born with an indescribable power, Yang Kai's white lips let out a breath and muttered: "Restore the glory of the Yang family back then, Yang Kai, don't let your grandfather down, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, you must persevere." ”

The strong belief made Yang Kai's step by step sonorous, the hand that grabbed the sling was more powerful, and he lifted it out in one step, his legs no longer trembled, and there seemed to be a force in the depths of his muscles that was stimulated, and his whole body felt lighter than before, the double barrel was no longer heavy, Yang Kai didn't say a word, and stepped towards the top of the mountain in the stunned eyes of others, leaving many teenagers beside him behind.

"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, three thousand!" Yang Kai shouted out three thousand, and when the next number was about to blurt out, he found that his feet were no longer stone steps, but a piece of flat land, and he suddenly looked up, dozens of house-like water tanks blocked his vision, and next to him, Grandpa Zhao Qingyang was looking at him with relief.

Yang Kai grinned, carried the double bucket up the steps next to the water tank, and gently placed it in the inherent position of Tietong, and did not pour the spring water into the tank, but mixed the stones, loess and spring water in the bucket with both hands.

Not far away, the ethereal Taoist slowly looked over, the essence in his eyes flashed away, and then slowly closed his eyes, and drank a sip of wine from time to time, leisurely.

Yang Kai took out the mixed soil and stones, and gently threw them all into the tank, and then turned over and entered the tank, carefully filling the soil and stones into the hole in the water tank, about three hours later, Yang Kai finished filling the soil and stones on his shoulders, and the water tank was only half repaired, and it would take another time to repair the water tank.

At this time, the young man carrying the water stepped onto the top of the mountain one after another, and everyone was stunned and unbelievable at what Yang Kai had done, and they all cast different glances.

"What's great, he's cheating!" A young man walked out of the Li family, thirteen years old, with a sharp face, a big black mole at the corner of his mouth was extremely hideous, and shouted at the ethereal Taoist people not far away, "Tell the immortals, Yang Kai cheated." ”

On the side, Zhao Qingyang frowned slightly, squeezed his eyebrows at the young man of the Li family, and signaled him not to continue, but the young man of the Li family pretended not to see it, and shouted: "Lord Shangxian, Yang Kai is cheating, please Shangxian make the decision for us." ”

The lean ethereal Taoist stretched his waist, turned over, and took the gourd in his arms, "snoring", actually snoring loudly, without putting the words of the Li family's rat-eyed boy in his heart, the rat-eyed boy snorted coldly, his eyes were dotted, and he wanted to swallow Yang Kai alive, the little boy's jealousy was too heavy, and Zhao Qingyang shook his head for a while.

Yang Kai didn't care, he carried a pair of iron tongs towards the spring three miles away, and when he returned to the top of the mountain again, the sky was already dark, the sky was full of stars, and the starlight was sprinkled down, projecting into the fairy mist, and a beautiful and bewildering scenery was formed between the heavens and the earth in an instant.

Using the starlight, it took Yang Kai nearly three hours to finish repairing the hole in the water tank, and in the afternoon, when the teenagers saw Yang Kai repairing the hole like this, they also tried to do so, but they were disappointed, the original two buckets of water were more difficult, and then loaded with some stones and soil, the weight was twice as heavy as before, and they couldn't bear it at all, so they immediately dispelled their minds.

At this time, the water they worked so hard to carry was now almost leaking to the bottom, and they were jealous and hateful to Yang Kai, and the children of the family who were estranged to Yang Kai on weekdays were even more gritting their teeth at this moment, if this continued, Yang Kai might become a registered disciple, and he and the others would be eliminated, completely out of the immortal path.

Yang Kai didn't care about this, he took out some pancakes and bacon from the package to fill his belly, his body and spirit were too tired, and he quickly fell asleep.

A cool breeze blew, Yang Kai was clever, slowly opened his eyelids, the sky was already bright, the stars had dissipated; he simply cleaned up, after eating the pancakes and bacon, wiped his mouth, and then carried Tietong towards the spring at the bottom of the mountain, he warned himself that he must use the remaining six days to fill the water tank, the lean old man said that the house-like water tank needs a hundred loads of water to fill, last night Yang Kai carefully estimated, the water tank needs at least two hundred loads of water to fill.

At the moment when Yang Kai walked down the stone steps, not far away, the ethereal Daoist opened his eyelids slightly, and said to himself: "Endurance and wisdom are commendable, but it's a pity that I was born with a waste body and can't do anything, hey!"

"Come on, Yang Kai!" Carrying the spring water, Yang Kai cheered himself up, this water was twice as light as yesterday, he didn't feel tired at all, his steps became more and more vigorous, and he easily stepped up to the top of the mountain, and the sound of pouring water woke up the children of the family who were still sleeping.

"Who, are you impatient to make such a loud noise so early in the morning and disturb Young Master Ben's sleep?" Huo Di, a young man from the Li family, stood up from the crowd, watched with hostility as Yang Kai poured the spring water into the water tank, and immediately took the flat pole and was about to smash it on Yang Kai's water tank.

"Stop, Li Mu, you are so vicious at such a young age!" Zhao Qingyang flashed out, his thick palm grabbed the flat pole in the air, the superior's breath rose sharply, his eyes stared at Li Mu, and said, "Fair test, Yang Kai didn't affect you, why do you want to pierce his water tank." ”

"Grandpa the City Lord, the villain didn't want to be an enemy of Yang Kai, but woke people up early in the morning, and he was angry for a while, so he acted impulsively, and hoped that the city lord would punish him!" Seeing Zhao Qingyang angry, Li Mu was afraid, let go of his hands, trembling and retreating, looking at Zhao Qingyang very innocently, and a few crystal tears flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph!" Zhao Qingyang snorted lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't act recklessly in the future, go and carry water, strive to become a registered disciple, and win glory for your Li family, understand?"

When Li Mu heard this, he nodded vigorously, and several young men of the Li family around him grabbed the iron bucket and walked down the mountain, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart, he really wanted to pull Yang Kai over and beat him up; with Zhao Qingyang present, he didn't dare to act rashly, imprinted this hatred into his heart, and he would definitely repay it twice in the future.

One after another, all the major children went down the mountain to carry water, and they didn't want to give up, knowing that it was impossible to fill the water tank, but they still had a glimmer of hope, and the days passed gradually under the water like this.

Day and night turned, time flew by, inadvertently, it was the last day of the endurance test, halfway, the Li family, the Wang family and the Chen family all had children who couldn't bear this hardship, and gave up one after another, and there were only a dozen people left to carry water, but everyone's water tank only had a bottom layer of water, with only one exception, that was Yang Kai, after the last load of water, that is, the two hundredth load of water, was poured in, the house-like water tank was completely filled.

In an instant, Yang Kai was relieved, exhaled a deep breath, stared at Cangyu, and his body and mind were released, for seven days, he only slept for two hours a day, except for eating and drinking, Lazar was all carrying water, and finally, at the last moment of the last afternoon, a full tank of water was filled and passed the assessment.

The children of the other three major families bowed their heads, among which there were many people with strong self-esteem, tears flashed in their eyes, their teeth were biting their lips, they were very unwilling, and there was only one voice in their hearts: "You have been eliminated, and you have no chance with the immortal path." ”

Zhao Qingyang showed a long-lost smile, he could finally make an errand for his old friend, Yang Renyi, for seven days, he was worried, guarding Yang Kai's water tank all the time, for fear that some daredevils would come to smash it, and now he can finally rest assured.

"Okay, the endurance test, Yang Kai is qualified, the remaining teenagers, go back and enjoy the rolling red dust!" The lean old man Ethereal Daoist announced the results as soon as possible.

"Shang Xian, it's not fair, you don't enforce the law strictly, Yang Kai cheats, Shang Xian turns a blind eye, we don't accept it!" Li Mu, a disciple of the Li family with a big black mole on his sharp face, shouted loudly, unable to accept the bad luck of being eliminated, and was filled with grief and anger, and actually blatantly questioned a group of elders.

"Are you not convinced?" The ethereal Taoist turned over and came to Li Mu's approach, his white beard was slightly curled, and his anger appeared, trying his best to suppress his anger, and then he said earnestly: "Boy, how beautiful is the red dust in the outside world, delicious wine and food, and a stunning beauty, when you grow up, with the Li family's financial resources, what kind of life will you not have? Why do you have to suffer this in Qingxu Cave Heaven?"

Li Mu was intimidated by the momentum, his little face was pale, and he said: "The villain also wants to cultivate immortals and ask for a long life, and he doesn't want to be harvested by the king of Hades before he is a hundred years old." ”

"Oh, are you all thinking like that?" the ethereal Taoist brushed his white beard and asked the young man of the family present.

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, their eyes showing hope.

"Okay, Elder Ben will accept all of you as registered disciples, how about it?" Elder Ethereal Spirit took out a gourd and drank a sip of wine, and then turned his eyes and said, "But it won't be in vain, you go home, kill the elderly in the family, sell the women and children, and finally bring all the belongings to the Qingxu Cave Heaven for your daily expenses, how about it?"

As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces turned green, not to mention these teenagers, even if Zhao Qingyang's head was black, this immortal was too different, not only did he not hold back his mouth, but he also instigated the young people to kill people and set fires, or kill their loved ones, if their hearts were not good, they had to be scared to death.

"Senior brother, your words are too much!" Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the void.
